Hamerol
The active substance in Hamerol is chitosan hydrochloride. Chitosan acts as an elicitor (plant enhancer), strengthening the natural defence mechanism of the plant. By stimulating soil life, chitosan leads to stronger plants with greater resistance to disease and drought, and promotes growth.
Scientific studies have shown that chitosan hydrochloride has fungicidal and bactericidal properties, making it suitable for use against a wide range of fungal and bacterial pests in various crops.

Mixability
We recommend using Hamerol preferably without other agents. This way, the positive properties of Hamerol are optimally utilised. If you do want to mix it with another agent, test in a separate jug to make sure that no flakes are formed.
Combining Hamerol with a stitcher or wetting agent improves the effectiveness of Hamerol and has been proven in practical tests.
